I think usually the higher number is the newest. I wouldn't like to say that is invariably the case though. If you can give links to both mobos that you are looking at we could probably be more precise.
ok here is a example of them .
ASUS M5A88-V EVO AM3+ AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard.
ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
i really like the asus board because they have the sleep mode on them .
i have 2 biostar .brand new.and all they have is hibernate .
now hibernate is the same as turning you pc off .
you have to use the power botton on the case to turn it back on .them you go true the microsoft screen .welcome screen .
etc.etc.
sleep mode all you do is tap any key or move your mouse and you are back right away were you left .
then the asus board you have the turbo stuff to overclock a bet ..
this is good for me .
i ask because i thing that i will build a other brand computer after new year .
this time i will spend a little more on it .
not that me 3 brand new one are no good .but i try use more hight teck board .
now if you go to asus site this is the lattes board .
M4A89TD PRO/USB3.you see that it is still [m4a89].
so it is a 890 not not a 880.
so i guess that the [4] don't mean it the old model .
Actually the M5A99X EVO with:
First on AMD 990X: UEFI BIOS & Digital Power Design on AM3+ Platform
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD...specifications
Is the latest. The UEFI BIOS itis the one that lets you boot to hdds over 2TB in size.
But I think I would select the M4A89TD PRO/USB3

Be sure to read the manuals and the memory documents. Seems there maybe ram brand restrictions.
MSI is my brand. And this would be my choice.

but if i choose that one i have to buy a video card .
[M4A89TD PRO/USB3.]so that will brind it custly .
i know about a little msi board .do you know for sure if they have the sleep mode on them

sleep mode and a lot of uption just like the asus board .
thank you train .
Did not check for onboard video. Because I do have a couple pci-e video cards just sitting around here.
All modern motherboards will incorporate sleep mode. Windows seems to work better with some than with others, but that's not a brand thing, it seems to be that it just doesn't get along with particular models of board.
Very true why I never try to use it. Plus it is cheaper to shutdown.Quote:

yes and sleep is really fast to get back on your pc ..no waithing time .
some time i go sit even before finishing typing my post .lol.but when i wake my pc i just keep typing the rest of it .lol .
.i just had big bad luck .i came back to my pc and my wireless mouse did not move any more .
i change the batteries .no go .it is possible that they just go like that .
i did try it on one other pc .still no go .
lucky that i have my old wire one for now .lol .
well it lasted 2 1/2 years for 40.00 not bad .
if your pc is on 24 hrs a day well the led on all your fans will fade away very fast .but all this for no reason and no noise at all when it off
